Sure.  My question was related to humans building binary distributions though.  Unless that becomes fully automated so the release manager can just push a button and have it built on and as-yet-nonexistent Mac OSX buildbot machine, somebody will have to generate that installer.  Ronald says Fink, MacPorts and /usr/local are poison.  If that's truly the case that's fine. It's just that it reduces the size of the potential binary installer build machines.

Actually, you can just use a chroot "jail" to build the binary - I use this process to build the official numpy/scipy binaries, it works very well whatever crap there is on my laptop otherwise.

cheers,

David
